Abstract EN
With advances of combined modality therapy, prognoses in esophageal cancer have been improving.
After resection of esophageal cancer, the development of gastric tube cancer is a risk.
While such cancer in an early stage can be cured endoscopically, total gastric tube resection is indicated in advanced stages.
A 68-year-old man underwent subtotal esophagectomy reconstructed with a gastric tube through the retrosternal route.
Gastric cancer was found one and a half years postoperatively.
The gastric tube was resected without sternotomy.
This is the first report of a patient undergoing resection of the gastric tube reconstructed through the retrosternal route without sternotomy.
